Hi,

How can I get the layers that are currently selected in the Render Setup windows ( Windows > Rendering Editor > Render Setup ) with Python ? Is it possible ?

Thanks by advance

Hi pierre_lanneau,

Yes, it is possible. Maya provides Render Setup Python API and commands that you can use to get current selection in the Render Setup window. You can do this:

import maya.app.renderSetup.views.viewCmds as viewCmds
viewCmds.getSelection()

Check out this page for more information about the Render Setup Python API and commands: http://help.autodesk.com/view/MAYAUL/2018/ENU//?guid=GUID-FFC3298A-9803-4EAF-B472-D13247319EB0

To get more info about the viewCmds.getSelection() method, check out the viewCmds.py file.

On Mac OS, you can find the viewCmds.py file here: $MAYA_LOCATION/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/maya/app/renderSetup/views/viewCmds.py

On Windows, it should be similar to this: ..\Python\Lib\site-packages\maya\app\renderSetup\views\viewCmds.py

Regards,

Lanh
